What can we say about 2021? Well, we agreed, we argued….and hopefully you learned something brand spanking new! 😂
2021 was quite a year, but recording the podcast was one of the things we always looked forward to. We hope you enjoyed the podcast as much as we enjoyed making it!
And we just want to say thanks to everyone for listening😆👂 Collectively, you’ve downloaded the podcast more than 1.2 million times!! We’re humbled that you would take the time to listen to us “banter.”
We didn’t know what we were getting into when we started this whole adventure, but it’s been a blast and we’re so glad you’re here with us 😊
Here’s the 5 top episodes of 2021, starting with number 5:
#5 The Dangers of Inspiration
Ep 82: How did Lee excel in art school without a background in it? How can you avoid wasting time and procrastinating? And if you’re brand new to art, should you learn to draw first or launch into painting right away?
#4 The Style Conundrum
Ep 84: Should you follow art trends? What compositions do you keep using? And is it too late to start illustration as a career?
#3 Does It Matter Where I Live?
Ep 74: How do you juggle parenting with an illustration career? Does it matter if you’re not in New York City? Are you too old to pivot to a career in art?
#2 Am I On The Right Path?

#1 5 Important Steps To Becoming An Artist
Ep 73: How do you “go pro” as an artist? We see artists who are working full time, but we don’t always know the process they took to get to that point. Here’s five main steps Will, Lee and Jake took to go from rookie to pro.
If you are new to the podcast, maybe give these a listen. They were our top downloads of the year! And if you’ve already heard them, it might be fun to walk down memory lane.
And if you’ve made it this far, just a heads up that we are moving to a weekly schedule next year! Yay!
Happy New Year to you all!
